What is the best way to see if neurosurgeon is really qualified to perform surgery i need?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Like seeking help: from any doc, ask him/her how many surgeries of the type you have need of he/she has performed. Also ask if the doc is board certified which shows experience and exams beyond what is essential. Second opinions always a good idea. Peace and good health.
